Epic 9 is the result of 24 years of winning innovation in XC cycling, concentrated into the world’s fastest race bike.
We started with the Epic 8, already a global benchmark. Then we stripped away everything that weighed it down, reducing its weight by 206 grams. That’s why our Epic 9 is the lightest full-suspension XC race bike in the world.
We then reduced suspension friction by 11% and perfected the kinematics. The result? Unparalleled efficiency, performance, and speed for every watt of power.
Speed is the natural consequence of perfect integration between the bike and rider, leaving the rider free to express their full potential.
